I really love my college.

My college just made an agreement with Adobe. The outcome?

Free Adobe Creative Suite (CS4) for all students and faculty, downloadable ($1800 value...apparently we can get both Design Premium and Production Premium, but so far only Design is available from what I can tell).

That is all.

It will be of real benift (and advertising) if you would also tell us the name of your college.

Technically, all I know at this point is that some no-name college in Indiana (where you seem to come from) has an agreement with Adobe.

Also, isn't this more of an off-topic thing than "Software for Windows" material?

Should actually be pretty much the same. Our school gets all sorts of great discounts and agreements (Office 2007 for free, Vista Business and Ultimate for $10 and $20, and now this).

Plus, I got a nice automatic academic scholarship ($5000 for each year, renewable for 4 years), so my parents decided they'd cover all of my necessities (costs), while I pay for anything extra or "fun" I may want/want to do.

And no, my parents are not rich. 5 kids, one just got out of college 2 years ago. We're technically upper middle class though, but they're very careful about money...they didn't pay for my brother's tuition (well, not all of it).

I go to IU (Indiana University in Bloomington). That's pretty much the opposite of "no name". Unless by "no name" you just meant that I hadn't named it.

Yeah, I suppose this is more off topic, but I knew it'd get lost there. If the mod wants to move it, feel free.

NOW, you've got me interested.

Does your college have Masters courses for Computer Science? Is the info there on the main site ?

I'm going to think about coming there.

And yes, I don't consider it 'no name' anymore. No hard feeling about it, I hope?

Actually, yes. Our CS program is under the School of Informatics. Not only can you get your BS or BA in CS, but IU also has a Masters program that allows you to get your Masters degree with only 1 extra year of school after you get your BS. It's supposedly a harder/more "intense" and crammed curriculum, but it's definitely pretty cool.

Or you can just get your BS like normal and take Masters classes towards your Masters degree.

Here is a link to the main CS page.

Here is a link to that specific Master's program.

IU is definitely a great school. I really love it here, and Bloomington is a really cool place.

For housing, I'd also recommend you look into the Collins Living-Learning Center. You have to apply, but it's super easy to get it (I think). It feels like its own small community, to be honest. It's definitely a place more for geeks, nerds, people who did drama in high school, etc. Don't that that the wrong way...there are really cool guys on my floor and cool people to be found everywhere (it's not a place full of stereotypes). Also, the amount of crap that goes on here (drug and drinking problems, etc) is really low compared to the "major" dorms.

Oh, and no hard feelings.
